TheProMakeupShop Magic 9 single use disposable wands keep you safe from germs and bacteria when trying out mascaras

(05/02/2010)

According to research conducted by Safe Beauty Association on 380 professional makeup artists, over a third of makeup artists choose to use only their professional brushes over hygienic disposable and single use brushes and applicators, and over half have no public liability insurance with which to practice their trade.

When you’re having your next makeover at the beauty counter check to make sure your makeup artist is safe and hygienic – or better still, ensure they are, by handing over your own personal professional-grade disposable makeover kit to use.

An affordable range of new , safe, hygienic disposable and single use beauty essentials is available at your fingertips from TheProMakeupShop.com so you can try before you buy, safely. Pop a new Individual Makeover Brush Kit (£3.99) comprising 15 essential brushes in your bag, ready to take to the beauty counter when trying out the latest products and colours safely and hygienically.

Don’t be afraid to ask the makeup artist behind the counter to use them – the quality is professional grade and the artist benefits from the same application quality as their pro brushes – the difference is that you know the brushes are 100% clean and haven’t got bacteria and viruses lurking. Ensure the makeup artist sanitises their hands with a good gel in front of you before they touch your face and start the makeover. It is thought that 80% of germs are transmitted through hands!

As you’ll already know, using the same mascara wand from person to person is a big no-no, as is passing around a lip stick, a lip gloss wand/tube or using the same sponges and brushes on different people. TheProMakeupShop.com Magic 9 single use disposable wands not only keep you safe from the spread of germs and bacteria when trying out mascaras, but for just £5.99 you can achieve nine different lash looks with your one tube of mascara. You get three of each in a pack.

Safe Beauty Score
Keep a look out for some of the worst practices amongst makeup artists and on the beauty counter and be sure not to patronise offending brands:-
• Are lids and protective covers provided for all testers on display?
• Are surfaces free from spillages, used wipes and tissues etc?
• Does the makeup artist sanitise the hands before applying your makeup?
• Are application tools taken from a grubby-looking ‘brush belt’? Or, are they taken from sealed plastic wrappers?
• Are tools double-dipped - upping the chances of cross-contamination and spreading bacteria and viruses?
